HELP! DUCK GASPING FOR AIR!

[Waterfowllady]

The duck did indeed die, but seemed better. Still not sure what happened to it.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss...

I'm so sorry.
I wonder if it could have been gape worms? Or even an overload of regular round worms.
You may want to keep an eye out for symptoms in your other birds if you have any

That’s something I looked at but all the rest of my ducks seemed fine.. I don’t know if it got sick and something was stuck in its throat or what?

Thank you all for the love She’s in ducky heaven now. I may keep looking to see what she had but it was truly out of the ordinary.

 

[MissChick@dee]

You could refrigerate her and send her in for a necropsy if you needed to know.
Don’t know if that’s a option. Again so sorry

My 3 months Muscovy has has similar symptoms. Yesterday, it was only one but today, another one joined it

Be careful with using a syringe to give her water, if not done properly she could aspirate. Please don't force her to drink by dipping her nares in water. Does she normally have water deep enough to dunk her head in? She might have swallowed something that she shouldn't have and it is stuck. How long has she been like this?
@casportpony

how long does it take a duck to aspirate?
